[RTTY] U.S.A CONTEST

[Phil Snyder]

I guess I never really thought about where North America stopped. I just 
figured Canada, US and Mexico made up North America and after that it 
was Central America  until you hit Columbia. I worked anyone who called 
me, you never know when you have missed a band for RTTY DXCC. Even 
though I gave some of the EU stations a sequential serial number, it was 
tough getting names from them. I guess next year if the two contests 
fall at the same time again I will have to make some type of macro 
stating "I will give you a number in exchange for your name". Maybe 
somewhere in the rules,  probably under Section 5, they can list what is 
considered the North American Prefixes.

In S&P mode I was not answered by at least 4 stations and had 2 other stations QSY a few Hz down and start calling CQ again after I had called them on their original frequency. So I decided not to S&P anymore and just called CQ after that and finished the contest earlier than planned.
